The Lord of the Worlds of Civilization

This discovery was quickly reported to Luo Ji's side. Luo Ji was overjoyed when he heard it, so he made a trip to the grassland to confirm it himself. Just like the weapons of soldiers in the army do not need to be equipped with magic weapons. The same is true for war horses. What the army needs is not a thousand-mile horse, but a horse that can bear hardships and stand hard work!It is best to be able to adapt to various harsh environments. To put it crudely, don't be so hypocritical!

The breed in Ma Liangxiang's eyes almost instantly became the best military horse in Luo Ji's mind, and Ma Liang who discovered this breed was naturally a great achievement, and was directly promoted by Luo Ji to be the manager of the grassland horse farm. Shot the silver-level 'Wrangler' skill book to him.

"Patriarch, the sun is about to set, do you want to continue to attack the city?" asked Rayong, who was on horseback.

"Don't worry, it won't be long before the sun sets!" Luo Ji slowly pulled out the bronze sword from his waist, "Siege troops! Start advancing!!"

With an order, five three-bow crossbows slowly pushed out from the army formation and lined up. With the absolute range advantage, the siege weapon in Luo Ji's hand once again showed its hideous fangs. After destroying the bed crossbows and defensive equipment placed on the city wall by the enemy's defending troops, an indiscriminate bombardment that locked the opposite city wall and city gate began.

In a short period of time, relying on a wave of blitzkrieg to storm a border city in the southeast of next week is a crucial first step in Luo Ji's tactical play. Not very good.

Because his current situation is relatively delicate, in order not to give Zhou Dongnan a chance to breathe, he immediately issued a declaration of war to start the war after repairing the gates and walls of Xiyuan City. They are still under construction. In other words, he is fighting in front of him, but he is developing farming in the back...

Under this premise, how can he avoid the threat of war from the giant wood city, white river city and other cities that are currently farming?Is it to stick to Nishihara Castle and buy time for the construction team members to complete it?Obviously not!Luo Ji has a more straightforward and direct method!

That is active attack!As long as he comes up, he will forcibly break through a city on the opposite side, forcing Zhou Dongnan to switch to a defensive battle as soon as he starts, right?As long as he continues to threaten the opponent's city with wave after wave of offensive, he doesn't believe it. In the previous invasion, Zhou Dongnan, who had just lost [-] troops, could draw out excess troops in addition to passive defense. to attack his city.

Therefore, in order to achieve this goal, Luo Ji will spare no effort!After ten rounds of indiscriminate bombardment by five three-bow crossbows, the city walls of the distant enemy city were already in ruins.

Seeing this, Luo Ji waved his hand and signaled the three-bow crossbow to withdraw. After the entire army advanced for a certain distance, he decisively ordered the shield and axe troops to push the siege vehicle forward. city!

Chapter 261 , Capture the City

Luo Ji's [-]-strong army was crushing the border at this moment, and the superiority of its troops could almost be said to be revealed at this moment. The opponent's defending force was obviously less than [-] people. The previous ten rounds of bombing by the five three-bow crossbows had already caused their morale to plummet. , and now it has been suppressed by the archer troops in a large area of ​​arrow rain. In this wave of siege battle, Luo Ji played the effect of the morale flow by surprise. This situation in the siege battle is actually a very rare.

Unless it is a crushing battle, otherwise, the soldiers defending the city have the city wall as their support, and the overall morale will be relatively stable and not easy to fall.

It can only be said that Luo Ji's style of indiscriminately bombarding the city wall from outside the opponent's attack range, relying on the advantages of the three-bow crossbow, is really a blow to morale.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the archers to suppress the opponent, the shield and axemen pushed the siege vehicles all the way to the city gate, and with a muffled sound of 'bang', they were holding a shield against the arrows overhead. The city's general Zhang Xijun's heart trembled, and then he shouted, "The first unit of shield and axe soldiers resisted the city gate! The second unit climbed the city wall and went to push the rolling wood and the smashing stone!"

The soldiers of the first unit who heard the order resolutely stepped up. After all, they also knew that once the city gate was completely knocked down, the enemy army would attack.

But the soldiers of the second unit who were demoralized, each with a stiff expression, climbed the city wall?Who couldn't see the rain of arrows that covered the sky?The shooting came in pieces, so that the archers on their own side had no chance to fight back. The group of people who ran slowly before were shot into hedgehogs on the spot, and their bodies were still lying on the city wall before they could be dragged down. Woolen cloth!Now let them climb up to push the log and the spar?Doesn't that send them to death?For a while, one by one did not move.

When Zhang Xijun saw the soldiers of the second unit, he did not act according to his orders. At this time, he was in a state of agitation, and his eyes flashed a stern look, and then he stabbed the soldier closest to him with a sword. He shouted fiercely, "Those who disobey the military order will be killed without mercy!!"

The soldiers were obviously taken aback by Zhang Xijun's killing with his sword, and all of them turned pale. At the same time, as a general defending the city, Zhang Xijun was obviously still alive, which made these soldiers not dare to resist him. , Climbing the city wall, it may be a near death, but if you disobey the military order, you will definitely die!

Thinking of this, the hesitant soldiers gritted their teeth one after another, raised their shields in their hands, and rushed to the city wall.

However, the cruel reality tells them that just relying on a single determination will not allow the archer troops outside the city to show mercy to them.

The few soldiers who rushed in front with large shields obviously wanted to rush to the city wall to find cover. This idea and idea were actually correct. The longer they lingered, the more dangerous it was.

However, the correct idea does not necessarily mean success. After the large shield is raised, the effect of resisting attacks is indeed excellent, but it has a defect, that is, it is too heavy. With such a heavy shield, you still want to rush up. ?This approach is doomed to ask for trouble.

I saw one of the soldiers holding a large shield rushed for two steps, and his feet were unstable. His entire body suddenly lost his balance and fell to the ground. Then, in a flash, the rain of arrows shot him on the spot. He became a hedgehog, and the soldiers who followed behind felt a chill in the hearts of the soldiers who were following him at the tragic death.

At this moment, a young man who was also holding a large shield and dressed like an ordinary soldier suddenly shouted loudly, "The arrows on the opposite side can't shoot through the defense of the large shield! Everyone stabilize and form a shield formation, Go up step by step!!"

The young man's words obviously had an effect, causing the panic-stricken soldiers on the city wall to find the backbone at once, and they gradually stabilized their positions.

Through the binoculars, Luo Ji, who saw this scene, had a flash of surprise in his eyes, but it was limited to that. By now, the gate of the city was already crumbling, and a few rolling logs and a few beating stones could not save it. This city!

"Siege troop! Be careful to avoid the logs and smashing stones from the city wall! Attack the city with all your strength!!" The siege troop had a strong morale and knew that they were going to counterattack the city in the southeast of Zhou. The soldiers in the battle are all full of energy!Under this premise, Luo Ji added fire to them again, throwing down the 'moral booster' skill, and the morale of the entire army suddenly climbed to a new height.

"The city gate, the city gate is about to fall!!!"

The exclamation of the enemy soldiers came from inside the city gate. The city gate, which had been blasted several holes by heavy crossbow arrows and then hit by siege vehicles, finally fell to the ground overwhelmed at this moment, and the archer fell to the ground. The offensive of the troops stopped, their task has been completed, and the next step is to look at the infantry troops.

Without stopping the infantry, Luo Ji waved his hand, "Push the siege vehicle and rush in!!"

It's just a siege vehicle. As long as it can capture this city, it will be scrapped after being scrapped. Luo Ji doesn't feel any pain at all. The siege vehicle used to hit the city gate will hit the formation of the shield and axe troops on the opposite side. You can imagine what effect it will have, but it is a pity that you can only hit it this time, after all, the opposite side will not give you a second chance.

The collision of the siege vehicle won them space at the city gate. The shield axemen who poured in later roared and rushed in. The suppression of the force made the battle completely lost the suspense at the moment the city gate collapsed.

This can't help but make Luo Yong, who followed Luo Ji later, feel so depressed in his heart. After staying on the grassland for a long time, it is rare to be transferred back. He originally wanted to perform well, how could he think that these enemies could not help fighting?

"Let go, let go! I am General Zhendong, who was proclaimed by His Majesty! Dare to attack the border of our Great Zhou, have you thought about the end?!"

"Your Majesty, Da Zhou..." Luo Ji raised his eyebrows when he heard these two words. He really hadn't noticed it before. Zhou Dongnan had already proclaimed himself emperor when he co-authored it, but on second thought, it wasn't anything unusual. thing.

At this moment, Zhang Xijun, the general defending the city, was escorted all the way to Luo Ji by two shield and axe soldiers, and then one of the soldiers kicked the other's knee, "Kneel down for me. you!"

This kick was fast and accurate, and directly made that Zhang Xijun kneel in front of Luo Ji with a thud, thinking that he was so dignified as General Zhou Zhendong, how could he ever suffer such humiliation?

Just wanted to shout angrily, but when he raised his head, he saw a flash of sword light in front of him, and a neat sword slashed directly on his neck!

Chapter 262, Book of Changes

The hot blood splattered directly on his bright light armor. After two unsuccessful attempts, Luo Ji couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Then, he saw him play on the spot, stepping on it and turning it into a Zhang Xijun, who had a corpse on his shoulder, then pulled out the bronze long sword stuck in the bone.

Ordinary soldiers didn't see anything strange, and then saw Luo Ji swing his sword, after shaking off the bloodstains on the blade, he unhurriedly retracted the sword into the sheath, and then faced his side with a blank expression. The guard said, "Remember to tell Liu Shu when you look back, this blade has to be sharpened again."

Originally, he wanted to beheaded with a single sword, but it turned out that he thought too much. The bronze weapons of these years were not sharp enough. With a single sword, they were stuck in the bones and could not be pulled out...

Of course, if you think about it from another angle, it may also be the reason why he is not strong enough. After all, his own style of play is also dexterous. Unlike Luo Yong, whoever goes down with an axe will be split in half.

"Boss, what should we do with those prisoners?"

Hearing this, Luo Ji glanced at the group of prisoners who had already been captured in the distance. The defending force of this city was about five or six hundred. After a siege was fought, about half of them died, and the rest The other half disarmed and surrendered after Luo Ji's shield and axe troops poured into the city and surrounded them.

In the current situation, if he chooses to accept these prisoners, if these prisoners defect before the war, it will obviously be detrimental to them, and it will even damage the morale of his army, but if these prisoners are left behind, in case something happens. When chaos comes, it is also very troublesome...

Thinking of this, Luo Ji suddenly said, "Kill them all."

As he said these three words, the young enemy soldier who had just been captured from the city wall by a shield and axe soldier suddenly changed his face, and then struggled frantically, "Stop! We have surrendered! You do this, Don't you think it's too cruel?!"

Hearing this, Luo Ji paused, then suddenly showed a cold smile, "I'm sorry, I've always been cold-blooded and ruthless towards my enemies, and I'm especially cruel!"

Luo Ji's decisiveness and ruthlessness were obviously beyond the young man's imagination, but the young man was obviously not willing to die so obediently, only to hear him shout again, "I know you are worried about us before the war. Mutiny or make some trouble, but what if I can get the other soldiers to obey?!"

The young man's words caused a flash of surprise in Luo Ji's eyes. Leaving aside the rest, at least the young man's mind was fast, and he was not timid. However, this was not enough to make Luo Ji change his mind...

"Don't waste your time, your army has committed unforgivable crimes in my city! My people cannot tolerate your existence. So, do you understand?"

Luo Ji's tone of voice was despairingly calm, because it meant that what he said just now did not shake the decision of the man in front of him, but he was shaken by Luo Ji's words...

What kind of things will their Da Zhou army do after capturing a city, as a soldier, he is naturally very clear, rape|prostitution|robbery, murder game, all kinds of shocking things are too many , so much that the young man does not know how to refute at this moment. Although he is ashamed of being in the company of those people, he has no ability to prevent such things from happening continuously.

"You, you can't think that everyone deserves to die just because some people have done unconscionable things. This approach is too arrogant and domineering!" The young man argued hard.

I have to say, the other party's remarks made Luo Ji unexpectedly interested, "So what? Arrogance and domineering are the privilege of the strong!"

You say that he is arrogant and domineering, and he does not hesitate to admit that I am arrogant, and I am domineering, how?Such a character caught the young man by surprise.

At this time, the young man suddenly realized that he was wrong. The man in front of him was different from the monarch in his impression. He would not pretend to be wise, nor would he pretend to be a saint. He showed his domineering character unabashedly , people can't feel the hypocrisy!

However, his own life is at stake, so the young man is obviously unlikely to give up like this, "Wait a minute! I can guarantee! I guarantee that all the people I have selected have not done those unconscionable things, and I can provide you with other cities. information, and even help you capture the next city!"

Before he could think about it, the young man threw all his chips in one go, "During the previous siege battle, the messengers had already rushed here, in other words, the other cities had already entered a state of full alert at this time. Now, when the time comes to force a siege, your army will inevitably suffer a significant loss of strength..."

"But if I help you, the situation will be different. I can bring other soldiers to deceive you to open the city gate. I used to be a centurion in the army, and among the soldiers in other cities, there are people who know me. , after we go in, we will directly seize control of the city gate, and at that time, according to your strength, you will be able to grab the second city easily before the reinforcements from the rear arrive!"

I have to say that the young man in front of him was able to think of such a well-rounded plan in such a short period of time after he was captured. What’s more important is that the young man even took into account the speed of reinforcements from the rear. , Luo Ji couldn't help but stare at his thoughtful and thoughtful thinking.

Feeling the sight of the other party, the young man was also apprehensive for a while, and then quickly added, "If you are worried, you can send a group of people with us, but it is best not to have too many people, it will easily cause suspicion."

"What's your name?" Without a clear answer, Luo Ji suddenly asked such a question.

"Zhou Yi." Although it was strange that the other party suddenly thought of asking his name, Zhou Yi honestly reported his name.

"Okay, Zhou Yi, I'm sure!" The loss of troops is indeed a problem. After seizing a city in a blitzkrieg, he will definitely not be in time for the second city. Once the reinforcements of the other side arrive, it is not so easy to attack, so simply First adjust for a few days, and then officially launch the attack. Luo Ji's original plan was this.

But now that Zhou Yi gave him directions, and he was willing to help him open the city gates, of course he didn't care about taking two cities in one go.

However, what people didn't expect was that Luo Yong, who had been by the side without saying a word, changed his face after hearing this, "Patriarch, you can't believe the enemy's words! What if they turned against the enemy after entering the city? Do it?! Why don't you just kill it!"

After he finished speaking, Luo Yong cast a suspicious look at Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi felt anxious when he heard this, and just wanted to explain a few words, but unexpectedly Luo Ji, who was standing there, directly waved his hand, "It's okay! If he turns his back, I will break through that city and kill him again!"

Chapter 263 , Opening the City Gate Fraudulently

The night was dark, and the fire in Songhe City was bright under the night. A soldier standing on duty on the city wall squinted his eyes and looked at the gradually enlarged firelight in the night outside the city. The soldier's face changed slightly, and then he quickly shook. The copper bell at hand.

Hearing the movement, the soldiers on duty quickly gathered on the city wall and looked at the team outside the city who were approaching with torches. As one of the two captains of the Dongchengmen defending force, Zhang Dapeng raised his hand to signal the archer. They were ready to shoot arrows at any time, and then shouted, "People outside the city listen! Don't come any closer, or I'll ask the archers to shoot!"

It was probably because of his shouting that the team outside the city slowly stopped moving forward. The cooperation of the other party made Zhang Dapeng look slightly relieved, and then he shouted again, "Where are you from? Report your affiliation. and name!"

With the shouting of this sentence, a figure slowly walked out of the army outside the city, and then shouted loudly, "I am Zhou Yi under the command of General Zhendong, and Dongjingcheng was attacked by the enemy and was broken. , we managed to escape with great difficulty, the brothers in the city quickly open the city gate, many of us have been seriously injured and urgently need medical treatment!"

While speaking, Zhou Yi deliberately raised the torch in his hand, letting the light illuminate his face so that the people on the city wall could see it clearly.

In order to perform this scene well, Zhou Yi really worked hard. There were five or 60 of them in a group, and everyone was covered in blood at this time, and the leather armor on their bodies was even more dilapidated. After finally fighting a bloody path, the appearance of escaping from the enemy's siege, from head to toe, is full of convincing.

But after all, in the daytime, the messengers had just come here. At this time, Songhe City had already closed the city gate and entered a state of martial law, but he did not dare to open the city gate casually and let others in. Thinking of this, Zhang Dapeng He couldn't help but asked loudly again, "What about your generals?!"

Hearing this, the soldiers behind Zhou Yi felt tight, but Zhou Yi, the main lord, remained calm, "After breaking through, in order to avoid the enemy's pursuit, the general asked us to split up. Action, he took another team of brothers to the Songshan City! I don't know what is going on at the moment."

There are three cities in the Eastern Region of Zhoudongnan Civilization, namely Dongjing City, Songhe City and Songshan City. These three cities form an iron triangle formation. There is really something that can support each other. .

This layout is actually very good, but Zhou Dongdong himself probably would not have thought that one of the corners of the Iron Triangle was destroyed in the evening before dark, leaving them with no time to react.

Zhou Yi's answer made Zhang Dapeng unable to hear any problems for a while, but he was still a little hesitant, "You wait, I have to go and ask the general first..."

The indecision of the other party made Zhou Yi feel a little depressed. The general of Songhe City, Zhao Hu, was a fierce general. If he came over, they would probably be a little hung up when they wanted to capture the city gate. For a while, Zhou Yi had thoughts in his mind. Constantly, just when he was thinking about whether to change the plan, there was a new change on the city wall.

"The general just married the third concubine yesterday, and he's busy now. At this time, he went to disturb the general's good deeds. When the time comes to blame, have you thought about the consequences?" Another captain, Chen Mingrui, saw him walking up and glanced at Zhou Yi below, and then said to Zhang Dapeng, "The one below is indeed Zhou Yi under the command of General Zhendong, I have seen him."

"Then, let them in?" Zhang Dapeng looked hesitant, but what Chen Mingrui said was indeed reasonable. As for their general's temper, if they quarreled with him at this time, it was estimated that he would really suffer.

"if not?"

Zhang Dapeng was at a loss for words, so he shouted again, "The brothers below wait a moment, we will open the door now!"

Zhou Yi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. He couldn't understand what the two of them said just now, but as long as he could deceive the city gate, it would be fine.

The waiting time was extremely difficult for Zhou Yi, and it felt like every second was like a year. At this time, Zhang Dapeng and Chen Mingrui, who were walking towards the city gate, obviously couldn't understand it. They only heard that Zhang Dapeng was on the way. I haven't forgotten to ask a few more words, "Do you know that Zhou Yi outside?"

"I can't talk about acquaintance. He was originally a centurion, but he was a fool. He contradicted the general for a few dead ordinary people, and was finally demoted to a soldier. According to the character of General Zhendong, he probably won't even think about it in his life. I'm in my early days." While speaking, Chen Mingrui unabashedly showed his disdain for Zhou Yi, and some people among the soldiers and a bunch of dead ordinary people looked like shit!A good relationship with your boss is the right way to get promoted and get rich.

During the conversation, the closed gate of Songhe City slowly rose, and the firelight reflected on his face made Zhou Yi slightly relieved, and then he quickly tightened his nerves. This is only the first step. Take control of the city gates.

"Come in quickly!" After the city gate opened halfway, Zhang Dapeng's voice came in without going up.

He was worried about what would happen if the city gate was opened for too long, while Zhou Yi was worried that if he dawdled for too long, the other party would notice something unusual.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yi naturally didn't dare to dawdle any more, and while walking forward, he used the firelight to quickly wink behind him.

"Patriarch, they went in." In the distance, Luo Yong, who was hiding in the dark, had a worried expression on his face. Even now, he still doubted Zhou Yi's words, "Why don't we take advantage of this? Now that the city gate is opened, you can do it directly?"

"Don't worry." Luo Ji, who was standing next to him, said with a calm expression, "I don't use people with suspicion, but I don't need to use people who are suspicious. Since I chose to believe that Zhou Yi once, then I just believe it completely. How long does it take for the other party to close the city gate? Even if you suddenly go out, can you quickly pass the gate that closes the city at this distance?"

Having said this, Luo Ji breathed a little, and seeing his indifferent expression, he was really not in a hurry, "Suddenly rushing out will only disrupt Zhou Yi's plan, instead of this, it's better to take a gamble. , If the bet is won, this Songhe City will naturally become our possession, and that Zhou Yi can be regarded as a proof of his sincerity in surrendering. If the bet is lost, the big deal will continue to act according to the original plan. There won't be much to lose."

Chapter 264 , Opening the City Gate Fraudulently

Inside the city gate of Songhe City, Zhang Dapeng breathed a sigh of relief as the city gate fell again. Seeing this, Zhou Yi, who was in a state of embarrassment, hurried forward two steps and approached Zhang Dapeng with a grateful expression on his face. With a fistful gesture, "Thank you two brothers..."

Zhang Dapeng, who heard this thank you, had no idea. He waved his hand and was about to say something, but at this moment, Zhou Yi, who was still holding his fists, flashed a killing intent in his eyes. He pulled out the bronze dagger hidden in the leather bracer in an instant!

A cold light flashed quickly in front of his eyes. At that time, Zhang Dapeng, who had no time to react, only felt a chill in his throat, and his entire expression was completely frozen at that moment...

"Brothers, do it!!"

Zhang Dapeng's fallen corpse seemed to be a signal for them to do something. Originally, they were covered in blood, and they didn't seem to be supported by the people next to them. Even the remnants of the defeated generals who were about to stand unsteadily burst into flames at this moment, blinking their eyes. In no time, they chopped down all the defenders who were closest to them to the ground!

This wave of attacks came so suddenly that Chen Mingrui, who was a few steps behind Zhang Dapeng, changed his face on the spot. Looking at the current situation, if he had walked two steps faster, the corpse lying on the ground would probably be him.

Thinking of this, Chen Mingrui was shocked and angry in his heart, and quickly shouted to let the surrounding soldiers besiege him!However, in this era, everyone's focus is still on the day, and no one will attack a city at night.

It is precisely because of this reason that the number of soldiers in the vigil is not many at all. Usually, there is only one small team, in other words, ten people who are responsible for the vigil standing on the city wall.

Now that the state of martial law has entered, Liu Hu, the general of Songhe City, symbolically doubled the number of soldiers on the night watch. However, one team doubled, and the final result was only two teams , the number of people did not change much at all.

A wave of unexpected attacks by the other party directly cut down the soldiers of their two vigil squads. Chen Mingrui, who realized this, shivered and ran on the spot.

As I ran, I was still thinking in my mind, "It's over, it's over! I put people in. If the general turns back to hold him accountable, then I..."

Thinking of this, Chen Mingrui's whole face suddenly became cloudy and uncertain, and then a thought quickly rose in his heart, "Yes, yes, push this matter to Zhang Dapeng! It is the city gate he ordered to open, anyway, people They are almost dead, and the remaining few are estimated to be dead, I won't say, who knows? Yes, just do it."

Who knows, just when he was thinking so, Chen Mingrui, who was running all the way, suddenly felt a pain in his back, his entire body lost his balance instantly, and then fell heavily to the ground.

"What, what's going on?" Chen Mingrui subconsciously reached out and touched his back. The place where he started was hot and humid, and the blood spilling from his back directly stained his face. A whole palm.

It turned out that Zhou Yi, who was in the back, saw that he wanted to escape, so he threw the bronze dagger in his hand as a hidden weapon. It must be said that he had a lot of luck in this throw, but the result was a hit.

"Wait, wait, Zhou Yi, listen to me..." Looking at Zhou Yi, who had rushed towards him with a bronze battle axe in his hand, Chen Mingrui shook his legs, and a pool of water stains spread. Was scared to incontinence on the spot.

As for the guy Chen Mingrui, Zhou Yi can think of it. His strength is not very good, but he is very good at slapping horses and pleasing his boss. When he went to the battlefield, he entrusted the relationship, and the one who sent money and the woman transferred himself to Songhe City in the back.
